Description
As a result of the EMI project’s success for the collaborative development and support of middleware in Europe, the majority of the former EMI product teams have decided to stay in touch to optimise ongoing and future collaborative work to the benefit of their customers.
In order to simplify interactions between the teams, they agreed to build MeDIA, an open, lightweight umbrella collaboration to essentially coordinate networking activities, keep track of ongoing collaborative work and support the instantiation of new middleware solutions and innovation activities.
Established in April 2013, MeDIA is building up a web presence and is currently in the process of agreeing on some basic procedures on how to handle development team interactions and collaborations.
This presentation is intended to:
1.) Provide an overview of the MeDIA collaboration: Main Objectives and Governance Models
2.) Describe the opportunities and services available for EGI and development teams, the possibilities of collaboration and the benefits for user communities and the resource providers
3.) Offer a call for suggestions for collaborative development activities and improvement measures for working together.
